Wind Turbines are a fantastic way of generating renewable electricity.
Get Cash Rewards for low carbon electricity.
From April 2010 MCS approved installations will be eligible to benefit from Feed In Tariffs (FITs). Note also that the government intends to introduce permitted development rights for wind turbines in April 2010 removing the need for planning permission in many cases.
To estimate the wind speed in your area visit the UK wind speed database. You need lower wind speeds than you would anticipate with average wind speeds as low as 5 m/s being sufficient.
The following table shows the feed in tariffs per kilowatt hour for the range of wind turbines installed by True Energy. This rate is paid regardless of whether you use the electricity yourself or export it to the national grid. On top of this rate you will get a 3p export tariff (per kWh) for electricity you export to the national grid.
